James Hardie has launched its Hardie® Plank challenge to raise awareness around the Hardie® VL Plank range.
The Hardie® Plank challenge is a roadshow event taking place in 25 locations across the UK in collaboration with a number of builders merchants. It kicked off at the Jewson’s Bridgwater branch on 28 May and will be running until October when the winner will be announced.
At each event James Hardie invites installers, customers and dealers to attend and learn about the Hardie® Plank product range. Guests will receive comprehensive product training and be invited to take part in the challenge where competitiors will race against the clock to install the Hardie® VL Plank with precision and speed as a way to demonstrate the solution’s speed and ease of application.
Every person who takes part will receive a James Hardie goodie bag and the ‘fastest fixer’ on the day will win a prize, and be entered into the national time challenge where the top 3 fastest installers in the UK will win £5,000, £3,000 or £2,000 worth of holiday vouchers.
Lee Bucknall, UK sales manager at James Hardie, said: “We wanted to create a challenge that was a bit of fun and at the same time raise awareness and promote the benefits of the Hardie® VL Plank range. This initiative is a great opportunity to grow our network of installers and also to work closely with a number of national building merchants.
“If you fancy yourself to be a top quality installer and think you have what it takes, we’d love to see you at one of our events.”
